Yes. Needs a decent sized stick. I use 32GB. Off the top of my head 16GB is not enough. There's a Windows desktop app to download the update and copy to USB.

Edit: I just started the download. It is about 24GB. It seems the Windows app downloads an archive that is unpacked so you need around 46GB disk space on PC.

From the release notes it seems we get Google search for places, which I think will be a big improvement (there are a lot of rural places I visit that are in Google Maps but not the existing nav search).

 

Thanks for that. Seems like something to do whilst taking the car in for a night shift and leaving it updating in the car park.

I used to do my Corsa ones all time , not worth paying for something I can do myself once the bugs have been ironed out

 

I did the update but the search seems just as bad as before. Hopefully it just has to be "activated" following the software update and will work soon.

Not checked whether the HS2 temporary new roads (aka mess) near me has been updated (it has only been nearly a year..).

That is what I gathered from the announcement. If you do a search after the update, it still shows ´powered by Here.´ Now I have a soft spot for Here, since it allowed me to navigate through California with all the maps I needed offline. But it cannot hold a candle to Google Maps when it comes to POI searches.
